April 6, 201115 yr Hey peeps, So I'd like to install getclicky.com tracking on a site which is built on asp.net but only know how to do this on html files. On the server there are: .aspx files - which i gather are similar to an html file .bak files - which i assume i ignore as they're just backups(?) .cs files - files written in c# which i haven't got a clue about .cs.exclude and other .exclude files - which i think means they are just excluded from the backup(?) and then obviously xml docs, stylesheets etc which I'm ok with! So say I've got all these files for the index page: index.aspx index.aspx (bak) index.aspx.cs index.aspx.cs (bak) Would I only put the tracking code onto the index.aspx file? Ignoring the backup... and the c# stuff. Some clarity would be seriously appreciated! =) Edited April 6, 201115 yr by alexandra

April 7, 201115 yr Author I'm tracking with Google Analytics as well, GetClicky can give you a bit more insight into what users are actually doing on your site though which is why I'm testing it out =)

April 11, 201115 yr Author Get Clicky has near real time stats (< 5 min) and it also has a 'spy' feature where you can see what's happening on your site when it happens which should be pretty interesting for analyzing user behaviour. It's got some other useful stuff like Twitter analytics too. If someone could actually help answer my question that would be
April 11, 201115 yr Why would you need to know exactly what the user is doing in real time? That sort of data would be redundant, as you're only sampling such a tiny pool of data. You can track user behaviour using Google analytics's, and sure it doesn't have a similar 'spy' feature, I just don't think that it would be needed as you should only make changes based upon a large data sample that allows for a wide varied amount of uses
April 12, 201115 yr Author Look there's a free trial and I just wanted to give it a go, I'm using Google Analytics as well, can someone please answer my question as I'd really like to understand how to do this. I assume I just put the tracking on all the main .aspx files but I just wanted some clarity. Thanks.
April 12, 201115 yr I would assume the same, although I've never used this service before. Isn't there an FAQ or walkthrough for this on the website?
April 18, 201115 yr Author Relax lol People are simply pointing out that there's a reason Analytics is pretty much the industry standard for tracking. I know, but I'd still like to know the answer! Cheers
April 18, 201115 yr yes. Just put it in the files that will be accessed. I assume a user won't be getting to the bak files nor the cs files.
